New Techniques:  Actions in Photoshop.

Actions can be used to create sets preferences that can be enabled with just a key stroke. This can be used to create realistic brush strokes set with preferences a the touch of a single key.

Example:

• Actions Window: Record
• Create new Layer
• Create Layer Style
• Select Bevel and Emboss
• Select desired preferences (Less Depth, Chisel Soft Technique, Highlight Mode Color [warm highlight color, cool shadow color] Opacity of Highlights and Shadow)
• Actions Window: Stop

Result Example:

So now we can easily create a painting with a lot of simple texture. This was just my 3 minute test sample and it looks like I can use this to make a brush texture for later from last Technique.
